San Clemente Smile of the Year

Stoked Surfer

I am a forty year old father of two and owner of a surf camp. I have a strong passion for surfing, and I love stoking people out in the water. Watching a person who has been paddling their heart out finally catch the rhythm of the ocean and stand up on a board…being able to show a person another way of life is what I strive to do. Surfing has been a staple in my life since I was born, my dad surfs, my friends….but the truth is anybody who can swim can surf. Unfortunately, being stoked doesn’t always amount to being paid. I cannot complain though, I am blessed to have two healthy daughters, and a wonderful wife…but I do not however have wonderful teeth. After years of no dental insurance my smile could use some major work. To be honest giving speeches and interacting on such a personal level with parents and children can be a source of tension for me. I would be so grateful for an opportunity to fix my teeth….to make my smile a little easier to share.
